Klevgrand Degrader - Perpetual License

Degrader is an audio effect plugin by the Swedish developer Klevgrand that combines a resampler and a bit crusher to make sounds deliberately rougher, grainier and more digital. It is meant for producers and sound designers who want the character of early samplers and vintage digital gear, lo-fi textures or plain distortion on drums, synths, vocals and effects. This listing is a license for the plugin: it is linked to your Klevgrand account and unlocks the full version inside your audio host.

This product is a perpetual license key for Klevgrand Degrader: it does not expire and can be used on 1 device running macOS and Windows. The key is delivered by email together with the activation instructions.

A common use is on a drum bus or a synth line to reduce the sample rate and bit depth until the sound gets the grit of an old sampler, then to blend some of the unprocessed signal back in with the dry/wet control. Because every parameter can be automated in the host, Degrader also works well for drops, sweeps and transitions that break the sound down for a few bars.

Key Features:

• Sample rate reduction: The resampler lowers the sample rate continuously down to a few hundred hertz, producing aliasing and the stepped sound of early digital equipment.
• Bit depth control: The bit crusher moves smoothly between 24 and 3 bits, from a light loss of detail to heavy quantisation noise.
• Pre and post filters: Selectable low pass filters before and after the resampling stage shape how bright or dull the degraded signal sounds.
• Jitter and saturation: A jitter control adds timing instability and a separate saturation stage adds distortion on top of the digital effects.
• Parameter linking and presets: Linked knobs let one control move several parameters together, and factory presets recall the sound of different vintage devices.
• Mix and gain staging: Input and output gain plus a dry/wet mix keep the level under control and allow parallel processing inside the plugin.
